Thank you so much I can't say how much it meant to me with all of your attention and comments, even though it took me about a half a year to update :)

From chapter 12:

Tennoda: Thank you for your review and you just has to wait and see how it all will turn out.

Domo: Well I' glad that you love this story it makes my heart glow with happiness. I'm sorry that the death of Frank didn't suit you; I couldn't make him all mighty and fight back as he's not that kind of person. To be honest have I no idea what you meant by a Glasgow but I'll try at make it up to you by some more fighting scenes with more worthy opponents. :)

tain89: Thank you and yes I know that it can be a little sad but that's just a part of the story. I'll try to update and look forward to you reviews :)

Chapter 13 – Brotherly Love

The week passed peacefully and though the two had their head in deep thought most of the time they had taken their normal daily life back with a couple of additions. As the fact that Max, though her unfortunate display the first day, had started to sleep in only a towel while Toh had made it his pleasure to hold his woman warm at night with his own body. The first night he was sure Max would have had kicked him out of the bed the same moment his hands snuggled around her slim body but to his pleasant surprise did she only snuggle even further into his embrace before falling into a deep sleep.

Max had tried to talk to Paul one of the first days and he made it clear that he didn't like the thought of meeting with his siblings and thought that they wasn't good enough for him but she knew that much.

She and Toh were driving, covered by the dark of the evening toward Terry's home. Neither spoke under the trip on the long and boring drive; Toh had from the beginning of the drive rested his hand on her thigh. Though she was a bit annoyed by the carefree way he did it she didn't shrug it off but let him caress her thigh in a calming and smoothing way.

"Son of a b…" Max cut off her curse as she parked the truck in front of Terry's building. On the front of the neighbors brick wall was a big banner that she knew well. On it was a leaf red with a crest sun in the background; over it stood the text: 'In God and Government we trust. All shall know and all shall obey.'

One thing Max knew were people that loved the government like this always meant trouble. Two of the times when they had been forced to move were because of people like that; she didn't like the thought of moving again just because one of the town's people was too nosy about business that didn't concern them. She felt Toh's hand squeeze her thigh in a reassuring manner before letting her go. The female heaved a sigh before getting out and helped her man out of the car; now there was danger lurking around them she didn't want any suspicions for them to report like a door opening by itself without reason.

They were greeted warmly and loudly as they entered the home and even Toh received a hug from Tanya who still seemed a bit shy but made progress.

All had a good time, joking and laughing; Ian was about to tell the story about the wild shot that accidently hit Max but he couldn't finish his sentence as a loud bang sounded and inside strolled none other than their fifth brother, Paul; not looking all so happy to see them.

"What's your problem man?" Terry asked angry as the sound of the crash gave him an image of a broken door and a lot of mess in the hall.

They all stood as Paul advanced inside the room staring at Max with dagger like eyes. "You're traitor." He yelled at her seeing Toh standing right beside her.

"What?" Max was confused not knowing how to react at her brother's behavior. He was the one who didn't wanted to be near her and it was him that meant that she was not fit to lead him and therefore signed himself out of the group.

"I didn't believe them until now; they said that you were a traitor I wouldn't believe them and here you are all of you sharing a good meal and stories with it like it belonged among us. You have brought that monster into our lives Max!" He yelled looking like he was about to explode any second.

"Calm down Paul and talk to us; who are they?" Max asked not liking his insults toward her or Toh.

Paul did calm down if only a little still holding his stare at Max. "The government isn't our enemy Max, they just want to give us all what we have craved for so long; acceptance. They told me about their case and I agreed to find the aliens that are harassing our planet; killing people for fun." He looked at Toh for a brief moment with more hate in them that Max ever had seen in anyone eyes before. "They told me about your kind and how ugly you were, I see that they were right." He mocked the yautja. Toh tensed but stood his ground not wanting to ripe the ooman in pieces in front of his siblings.

"Do you know what you're saying lieutenant? The government is just using you bro, don't you remember our training; how we grew up?" Terry asked disbelieved of what he was hearing. His brother had it bad this time.

"Have you thought about that maybe we were created for a reason? They did what they did to make us stronger, faster and smarter than everyone else. So we could rise over the rest and let them see who we are." The man looked like he could have belonged to a mental facility with a mad mans dreaming eyes as he spoke.

Toh let out a faint growl sounding noise only meat for his woman's ears as well as touching her arm lightly, letting her know that he still was there and stood behind her all the way and gave her just a little hint of his want of rip this ooman's head off in the process.

This action didn't go unnoticed by the mad brother. "Get your hands off her beast! Max get away from it, you don't know what it can do." He yelled walking closer. He had always been against his sister but that was to hide his affection for her; an affection that none of the others would understand. She was so much better than he ever allowed the others to know but every time she let him down with her decisions and actions but he knew better, he knew that she just needed some guiding to shine through.

"I will not! Stop yelling Paul and stop acting like Toh is a badblood. He is my friend and yes I know what he can do; I know that he hunt people but only badbloods. Criminals Paul. The reason why I know this because I have hunted them too, we have hunted those who hurt out world." She said angry as she rested a hand upon one of Toh's. "The reason why we were created was not for us to rise over others like we are better than them. It was because they wanted someone to do their dirty work for them. If you just listen to me; they are using you to get to the rest of us. The government wants us to hunt Toh and his kind; would you ever start hurt those who was your friends and family?" She asked soft trying to reach the man she knew existed under all the hatreds that was emitting from him.

Max stepped out of Toh's reach and walked over to her kid brother. She knew he wasn't the fasted, the smartest or strongest among them. She was sad for his sake; sad that he didn't feel the same satisfaction by have a high rank or any specials like the others. Tanya had been created to be the perfect spy; Terry was their weapon specialist; Ian their Medic and techno geek and herself, she was the leader. Paul hadn't any other 'powers' than any of the others didn't have; he didn't see the reason for them to hide but use their abilities and that was wrong. If it were because he hadn't seen the horror of the world like the others had or if he just was naïve she couldn't tell but he was wrong.

"I would do it if it meant a better world for the rest of the people around me." Paul answered which gain a combined gasp from Terry, Ian and Tanya.

Max looked at him shocked. "You would sacrifice your family for the government?" She asked; stopping mid track not believing her own ears.

"I would." His eyes looked dangerous at her. "Don't make me force you to go with me." He said with a cold threaten voice.

"You are mad." Tanya intertwined stepping up beside Max, her eyes glistered with forming tears of disappointment and sorrow by his words.

"I knew you would back her up. My little sister, how's love doing for you?" He asked with a smirk. With that both Max and Tanya was hold back Terry and Ian back from attacking their remaining brother right then and there.

"Let me go and let me show him how love feels like!" Terry spat as he fought against Max's grip.

"Stand down major." Max said calm and instantly felt the man stop lessen his fight against her hold. "I will say this once. Get out now!" Max's violet eyes pierced through Paul. Toh could see how Max had tensed up and knew all the signs of how near she was from doing something that she might regret later. The yautja therefore walked up and placed a hand on her shoulder; letting out a purr to make her know that she was not alone in this.

It seemed to work as Max looked up at him giving him a small smile in thanks and her tense muscles loosened a bit. However Paul saw this as well and it cut him deep. He saw how she looked at the yautja smiling.

Paul saw the warmth that emitted between his oldest sister and the one that he saw as a monster and it made him sick. She had never let a man touch her like that before and that made him even angrier than ever before; she never had let him touch her like that or giving him that kind of smiles.

"I see. You see an alien and he turns you into a whore. That is just great and here I thought that you were better than that." He said with pure contempt.

The male's lower mandibles started to flare as he let out a hiss in warning. Max too found this the last drop as she snapped her head to her brother, her eyes showing pure rage. His words echoed inside her head and she saw red. This time he would not get out of it with only a word or two. She walked up to him slowly and took a hard grip on his arm. Without saying anything she almost dragged him out of the room closely followed by the rest of the party.

"You. Me. Fight." She growled as she roughly shoved him outside through the door and out on the back lawn.

Toh watched as Max and the ooman male called Paul stepped out on the grass field outside Terry's house. Max was pissed, no more than pissed, she rapidly closed and reopened her hands in aggression. The yautja who now knew not to make the woman angry without suffer the consequences took a good viewing point and waited for the show to start. Ian, Terry and Tanya stepped up beside him; they have obvious witness this scene before and both took it fairly calm consider the fact that they all seemed a little more tense from their brothers words.

Tanya let out a loud sigh. "Paul will be out for a long time after this, I have never seen Max this angry before." She stated to no one in particularly

Maxine couldn't wait to give Paul a lesion he never would forget. She was so infuriated at him and it was starting to cloud her mind from anything else than making him take back the words that he not more than a minute before had uttered. Her brother had insulted her and worse, insulted their family and Toh.

That's where they were now; Max and Paul standing about 6 feet from each other holding a staring contest. Ian, Tanya, Terry and Toh stood along the house watching the fight to begin. Toh was angry by the ooman's disgracing words but this was Max's fight and he would enjoy every second of her punishment of the dishonored man.

Max stood across from the man she once had trusted completely. The one person she had had the closest bond with, even between her siblings. They had been best friends and told each other everything. But this? She couldn't recognize him anymore. Her rage from only moments ago had only decreased slightly.

"Max, think about this before you do something stupid here." Paul tried to reason with her. He knew that she was more skilled than him and he didn't like the look she had in her eyes.

She didn't answer only watching with daggering eyes on how the man starting to doubt in his previous choice of words.

His eyes flickered from his big sister to the rest of his family to the alien he despised. It was their entire fault; it was entirely the beast's fault that Max hated him and it had turned his family against him too. Forgetting that Max just had challenged him in a fight he turned toward the beast and was about to attack when he felt something collide with his abdomen and fell to one leg as he tried to catch his breath.

"Concentrate on one fight at the time lieutenant." Max growled when she waited for the man to pick himself up.

"I don't want to fight you Max." He said between each breath.

"Pity course I do. You have tried my patience too many times and this time was just the last drop. Now raise and face me" She commanded circling the man watching him as he stood.

The man stood, watching his sister shifting her body into a fighting position and couldn't stop admire how her muscles were shifting under the layer of clothes. A loud bark from the porch made him snap back to reality. If Max wanted to fight he would fight and he would win just to show her that he was stronger than her and how strong the government could make them if they just was willing to receive their gifts. His body too shifted into a fighting stand and not moments after with a piecing roar attacked his sister with all that he got.

Max knew what her brother would do before he did it. She has spared him so many times that she had memorized all of his moves and it seemed that he hadn't learned anything new since last time the two of them had clashed. She let the time come and with speed only few knew did she trun and let the surprised man hit the ground instead of her.

Their brawl continued with the man getting more and more frustrated and angry of not being able to hit the woman as he had intended. The few hits that he had inflicted was near from enough by his liking and she had hit him far more time than he her. Max was starting to get bored with playing. Her anger had subdued a bit and was only doing this to put her brother in his place.

"Stop moving!" Paul yelled as he stopped to catch his breath. Sweat was starting to form on his forehead and his breath labored.

"I will not, you did wrong in starting to question me decisions and now you will see the consequences. Don't you think all I have done have been done for the sake of our family?" Max replied.

"Not with that think in our homes and life. It is a monster a mere animal that have stolen technology from worlds that they have come across."

"He's not a monster!" Max yelled back angrily. "He's my friend and he would never do anything to hurt this family, his honor bid his not to.

Paul showed a grimace. "Honor?" He asked smug. "What does it know about honor? It just kills people for fun."

"You apparently know nothing about how the yautja lives or about what they stand for."

"And you do? You have all your information from that thing; god knows what lies he has filled you with."

A snarl came from the side but neither looked at the offended male. Max stepped a couple of steps closer to her brother as her anger starting to flare again.

"Don't you dare question my judgment. That was what made you free remember?" She hissed at him.

"Your judgment is what made us cover in fear for the last 15 years Max; I will not do that again. We should never have left the facility."

This time it was Max who attacked first and with skilled accuracy she punched him to the ground, giving him another blue and black mark on his body. "You have been blinded, they will only use you. They will promise you everything until they have you in their fists and then, my dear brother, will they never let go. You talk about being trapped out in this world; well at least do you have the ability to go where ever you want to, do what you want and love whoever you want to without some scientist looking down your back. I cannot let them take this family Paul and if you have any compassion and love for this family left you will go and never talk about us again."

"I will not dear sister, they have their eyes on your newest member of the group and I intend to give it to them." His eyes wandered to Toh who at this time was using all his willpower to restrain himself.

"No!"

Max's cry was loud enough to wake the night as she let blow after blow hit the man. Paul too had found new energy and too her surprise did he hit her more than a couple of times. For the third time did she hit the ground spitting blood onto the dirt underneath her. Her baby brother had one hell of a punch when he decided to. She wiped her mouth not caring for the stain that she would leave on her shirt.

Paul didn't wait for Max to get up and attacked her with a battle cry that he had used ever since they were little. His foot connected with Max's head that made her roll a couple of feet further down the grass covered ground. His normally gray eyes were dark and said with a deathly glare that he wouldn't stop until she didn't move anymore.

Max tried to get up but another kick to her stomach made her loose the little air she had collected. How he had gotten so strong was playing in her mind but the thought of getting up and fight was more urgent and once again did she gather all her strength and for a time did she think that she wouldn't make it before the man would come and kick her to the ground however he had been focused on the now restrained male at the house.

Her leg hurt and she was sure one or two of her ribs were broken or at least cracked but that didn't stop her. She would never give up. Her brother would have to either knock her unconscious or kill her.

Once Paul looked at her he saw his mistake but didn't think more about it than he just needed on the ground once again. With another battle cry her attacked but this time was she ready and though her whole body protested she managed to throw him down hitting him hard in the side. Max waited for him to back up before continuing her attack. She found attacking someone on the ground meaningless and didn't like the idea but knew that others didn't have the same morale as she did. Paul swung his leg high in a round kick but her hands found her foot and with an easy twist and a sickening braking sound did he fall to the ground in agony pain. The foot was lying on the ground in an unnatural angle.

"Fuck!" Paul yelled as he held onto his ankle not able to do much else. Max sneered at him.

"You know what'll happen if you tell and I can't stand in the way if you challenge Toh'el'ach, do you understand?" Max said in a calming but cold tone. He nodded his agreement but didn't look at anything else than the broken foot.

With a knowing nod Max gesture for Ian to come and look at the man's foot. A purr erupted from behind her and with that she couldn't hold back a smile. Strong arms encircled her waist holding her up. Not that she was unable stand but it was painful so many places that she welcomed the extra support and loved the yautja for not touching any of her damaged ribs.

He lifted her into his arms ignoring her protest of how he treated her like a child but with one glare he silenced her. She knew that she had injuries and knew for a fact that it hurt every time she moved so though her mind screamed that she could take care of herself did her body welcome the lesser pain.

"Put her up into one of the bedrooms, I'll send Ian up to you as soon he's done with Paul." Terry said and Tanya immediately came to show Toh the way to a suitable bedroom; the house was big enough for even Toh to get lost and that was not what either of them was looking for at that moment.

-

"I'm sorry." Max mumbles into the chest of the male. Tanya had given them a big bedroom with a king size bed and more furnishers that neither Toh nor Max was interested in at that time. "I'm sorry that you have to take care of me all the time that we never seem to have time where we just could relax like before." She elaborated without any encouragement.

Toh let her mandibles graze her cheek and forehead. He had promised himself not to act too much upon his feeling but it had been hard to see his female every day and not being able to hold her like he did at the moment. Hold her in his arms, his hands stroking every part that they could reach, soothing her, nipping kisses on her skin and taste her sweetness in the same time.

"If this had not happened I wouldn't be able to hold you right now woman." He said honestly letting her know some of his thoughts.

She laughed tiredly. "I bet you wouldn't, so enjoy it as long as it last." She teased but did nothing to loosen their joined bodies. A yawn came from the female muffled by Toh's body and he couldn't stop laughing quietly. She snuggled even further into him as her eyes fluttered to close.

"I will my mate." He whispered not loud but apparently loud enough for Max to hear and instantly her eyes opened in a widened surprise looking up at the male her mouth open as if she was about to say something but nothing came out.

"Go to sleep my woman." He coaxed closing her mouth with a gentle finger for her.

"I'm not your mate, got it." Her eyes gleamed with a playful hint but her voice serious. She tried to push herself out of his arms to point her statement but the male held her in place not letting her go.

"You are Max, no matter what you say woman." He said too with a serious tone in his voice but knew that she didn't want to be let go.

She tried to hold back a small smile but just a hint of it crossed her face as she buried her face into the male's chest once more. "Whatever you say, I'm no man's woman or mate." She said through another yawn and with that did she fell asleep.

-

Another filler I know but I'm not so sure of what to write at this point even though I'm not looking at the screen for hours with no end without being able to write a line.

Please review and tell me what you think :)
